Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, julienned or chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken slices for 3–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
- Whisk the mixture over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Stir in chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 1 minute until the spinach wilts.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or with bread.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs, salmon, or shrimp as alternatives to chicken breasts.
- Add sautéed onions or sun-dried tomato oil for extra flavor depth.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and nutritional yeast.
- Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be added at the end for brightness.
